I want to extend my sincere condolences to the family. May God grant you peace and strength during this time . Keep your loved one alive always in your hearts and remember all the beautiful memories given to you by them. In the near future the following scripture will be a reality. Revelations 21:4 says, “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." May God's words bring comfort to you and the family at this time of sorrow.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences for the loss of your loved one. Take comfort in knowing that soon all those in the memorial tombs or grave will be resurrected or raised up back to life in conditions free from sickness and death (John 5:28,29; Revelation 21:4). These are few of many comforting scriptures. For more information on how to cope with the loss of your loved one, please visit www.jw.org.

I and the Long family is very saddened to hear about Mrs. D. I worked nightshift and would see her every morning regardless of what we were doing or going in our passings she and I would always make a point to at least smile at each other. If at anytime I saw that something was on her mind I would always tell her. "It's not a big deal Mama D. Bring it in for a hug." I'll never forget the first time I did that. She gave me a look like "Is SSgT Long crazy?" I gave her a head nod and a wink. She Stood up and said "What the heck" but in the Mrs D. way and gave me a hug. She would just give random hugs to me from then on. I miss those hugs. I loved her as did everyone. She did the little things to make a difference and I'm a better person now from that. I love you and miss your smile. I hope you're going to wait for each and everyone of us. No other person could top her welcome.
With my deepest love Randy Long & family

The Pettaway Family has always been close. As my cousin Curtis indicated we spent many good times in the "Low Ground". We always looked forward to Uncle Eddie coming to Rocky Mount and bringing the family.....those were the good old days!
To the family I offer my sincere sympathy during this time. She is no longer in pain and is with God. Keep strong and continue to be blessed.
Much Love!
Denise

I'm so sorry for your loss. This is a scripture that has given me comfort and I pray you receive comfort from it also. Isaiah 25:8 says that God will swallow up death forever and wipe away all tears. I will be praying for your family during this difficult time.

We are so very sorry to learn of our very sweet cousin Doreatha's passing. We extend our heartfelt condolences to her entire family. I will always cherish the memories of your father and mother bringing your entire family of brothers and sisters to visit our family back in the old "Low Ground" in North Carolina, when we were kids. We were always excited to see our cousins from the city and could always count on Uncle Eddie to bring gifts for us. We will never forget how much Doreatha always seem like a big sister than a cousin we all love her friendly personality. God bless her and her family and may she Rest In Peace!!!

I am truly saddened by the loss of my sister Dee. We have known each other since 1981 at Sembach Germany. She was the kindest, sweet spirited person that a friend could have. I know that God has her singing with the angels. To have known her was a blessing and I will cherish all our memories. To the family, I pray for you strength and peace. Loving you always

Will hold those special memories of a very special lady in our hearts always. We extend our prayers to all the family, may God bestow all the strength you need to accept your loss.
